Title: The Church Staff: Crafting Team Ministry Don Ng |
Workshop Description:
When each person is unique, getting everyone on church staff, professional or volunteer, to work together can be a difficult job. To craft a collaborative and productive team, one of the first things to know is your own needs and gifts. As supervisor of your team, you can model collegiality and teamwork leading others to follow. This workshop is an opportunity to share your experiences with others with practical ideas. The success of valuing and integrating your church staff in doing ministry together answers the call of being the Body of Christ.
